Just want to share my experience in regard to installing Fedora Kinoite for non-technical folks. I have had Fedora Kinoite installed on different machines with different hardware since Fedora 36.

Every single time I want to upgrade to another major version (say 36 -> 37) something goes wrong, and I have to manually dig through the notes and issues to fix them via the command line. The problem has been unique every time I have wanted to upgrade; either the repos have issues or there’s a dependency problem while upgrading or a host of other problems that hinder major upgrades via a single click through the GUI frontend. I had Kinoite installed for non-technical people because it seemed to be the perfect option for having a rock solid system that’s hard to break. But after having to intervene EVERY single time they had to upgrade to a major version, I am convinced that I need to consider another distro for my use case.

Also, a huge thanks to the contributors and the developers of the ostree variants of Fedora such as Silverblue and Kionete.
